Story Time

We love story time.  Every night before our little munchkin goes to sleep he will very sweetly point to his books and say "mamma book".  What he means by that is can you please read me my four favorite books:

1. Curious George
2. Good Night NY City
3. Baby Animals
4. The Little Train that Could

We have no idea why he prefers these 4 over others.  These are not the most visually arresting books, nor do they make any sounds, so it must be the way we narrate the story. Dhruvi knows some of the words and pages in the book very well and will often skip to that page and say the words he knows.  A few days back he picked up his baby animal book and said "Ackoon" which means Racoon.  Out of all the animals Dhruvi had to pick the Ackoon.  My theory is that the dark circles remind him of Mandar's dark circles :)

But I digress...Today's pics are not about reading him his 4 favorite books, but reading books on the iPad.  In the spirit of full disclosure, the pics are about me testing my new camera's low light capabilities.  He actually does not care what we read to him on the iPad, he will happily watch the screen as Mandar gets his daily dose of CricInfo.

It started off reading a real book under a blanket fort and a torch...

And soon we settled on the iPad.  This one is my favorite shot from today..

Happy New Year-13

Dhruvi loves all electronic gadgets, but the iPad by far his is most favorite, like father like son.
